Elecosoft has released Asta Vision Plus, an upgrade to Asta Vision that gives construction and infrastructure delivery teams secure, AI‑ready API access to project schedule data.

Many construction businesses still rely on spreadsheets, file exports and email to move program data between applications, creating version conflicts, rekeying errors and blind spots that only surface when projects are already off track. The upgrade is designed to address these challenges by making Asta Vision a governed system of record for project and program data and a reliable data foundation for business intelligence (BI) and artificial intelligence (AI) use cases.

At the core of Asta Vision Plus is Asta Vision API, which provides secure, structured access to Asta Powerproject program data, including projects, tasks, workflows, progress periods, code libraries and calendars. This tackles the common pain points of schedule updates lagging site reality and the difficulty of keeping BI dashboards, enterprise resource planning (ERP) systems, building information modelling (BIM) tools and field applications aligned on a single version of the truth. By integrating with these systems, Asta Vision Plus eliminates manual rekeying and reduces data‑entry risk, ensuring decisions are based on consistent, current information. It also exposes governed program data to AI platforms so customers can build predictive models, copilots and assistants on a reliable planning backbone.

Standardised codes and calendars, along with locking and version control, ensure every integration works from the same governed dataset. This reflects growing pressure on construction organisations to demonstrate robust governance and auditability, particularly where projects involve complex supply chains, tight margins and contractual exposure. With Asta Vision Plus, teams can reduce reporting discrepancies between systems, and surface schedule and contingency risks early instead of discovering issues only when they are impacting time, cost or margin.

From day one, the upgrade also prepares customers for the next wave of predictive, AI‑driven planning. By using the API to capture clean, consistent schedule history, organisations can start to feed data into AI tools and partner platforms, laying the groundwork for forecasting schedule health, contingency burn and delivery risk across portfolios. Elecosoft continues to invest in AI capabilities on top of this foundation, from predictive dashboards to smarter assistants, helping teams identify issues earlier and protect margins.

Asta Vision Plus has been built around specific, day‑to‑day pain points in modern construction and infrastructure delivery:

• Lag between site and program – Planners often receive updates late and manually rekey them into the master schedule. With Asta Vision Plus, progress can flow from field tools into Asta Vision via the API, so updates from mobile apps, digital forms or site systems are mapped onto activities in a controlled way. This keeps the program closer to site reality, removes repetitive data entry, and gives planners and portfolio leaders earlier visibility of emerging delays and knock‑on risks.
• Poor visibility of emerging risks – Portfolio leaders can struggle to see where slippage and contingency burn are building across multiple projects. Asta Vision Plus creates a consistent data foundation so portfolio‑level KPIs and risk indicators can be trusted and acted upon earlier.
• Fragmented tools and data silos – Digital and IT teams face complex, brittle integrations between planning, ERP, BIM and reporting tools. Using Asta Vision API v1 as a central, structured project data hub reduces integration complexity and improves data quality for BI, BIM and AI use cases across ecosystems. This enables partners and customers to connect forecasting tools and AI solutions without compromising on governance or data integrity.
• Evidence and audit challenges – Commercial teams can spend weeks reconstructing what happened when, across multiple versions of programs and reports. With locking, version control and standardised structures, Asta Vision Plus strengthens auditability and supports preparation for disputes and claims.
• Limited ability to predict issues before they land – Some reporting is still backward looking, making it hard to see where today’s small delays will turn into tomorrow’s overruns. The Asta Vision Plus roadmap introduces AI-powered predictive dashboards, using historical schedule data and clean API feeds to forecast schedule health, contingency burn and delivery reliability weeks in advance. This enables teams to prioritise interventions, protect margins and demonstrate proactive risk management to clients and stakeholders.

“Construction and infrastructure teams are under real pressure to deliver reliably while managing tight margins, complex supply chains and increasing governance demands. Too often, critical decisions are still being made from spreadsheets, emails and disconnected reports rather than a single, trusted view of the program,” said Andrew Norrie, head of business development at Elecosoft.

“With Asta Vision Plus, our customers can turn Asta Vision into that governed source of project truth, reducing rekeying, cutting reporting discrepancies and giving leaders earlier visibility of schedule and contingency risks across their portfolios.

“And because Asta Vision Plus is capturing clean, consistent schedule history through the API, it lays the groundwork for predictive, AI-driven insight into schedule health, contingency burn and delivery risk.”

Asta Vision Plus is available as an add‑on to existing Asta Vision customers for contractors, house builders and asset owners who want to reduce delivery, commercial and governance risk.
